Gary says... "Ling, just a short note to say thank you for arranging my first lease car and making the whole process completely painless. The car arrived first thing on Monday morning (after a slight hiccup on Friday) and was just as I ordered.
Please rest assured that I will be recommending you to all of my colleagues in the future and I will definitely be back in two years for a new car. Once again many thanks."

Zoom, zoom, zoom! Well, sorry about the rain, but Great Yarmouth is miles from anywhere except Holland (I have checked the map), so no wonder the road spray made it a bit dirty when it arrived. But the main thing is you have the last of my very cheap RX8's (for now). Enjoy it, Martin -

Ray says... "I am enjoying the new Vectra, it is an excellent new car to drive, but I do feel it should have been delivered with mats (These subsequently arrived in the post after 2-weeks - Ling). The service from yourselves was very good, I have never known e-mail to arrive so quickly. However, your Vauxhall suppliers let you down."

Simon says... "Having previously leased from a "big supplier", dealing with Ling has proven to be a "breath of fresh air". Communication was excellent, Ling answered all emailed queries within the hour (often within minutes).
The whole leasing process was smooth, relatively trouble free and quite simply the cheapest price on the web. The Picasso was delivered on time as promised, by a local dealership. Excellent. I would recommend LINGsCARS.com without hesitation and would use again. Thanks!"

Simon, I am always pleased when a customer says they have used a big company for a previous car, it is so easy to beat their service levels! Matter of fact, I could take a two-week holiday in the middle of supplying your car and still do better than them :) So pleased you are happy, so pleased I was cheapest on the web. I keep overheads down to a minimum to achieve this -

I would like to thank you for multiple things. The first is the car delivery (the FASTEST car order I have ever received). The second thing is the communication from yourself, always clear and correct, with a smile :). The third thing is your website, easy navigation and fun.
You are doing great work. Thanks and regards,"

... (later)...
Ling, the car's excellent, had a good drive and it's just what I expected and wanted. I can't thank you enough, I thought that getting a car would be a nightmare. On the contrary, It really has been a pleasure doing business with you from start to finish(All done from Iraq by Fed-Ex! Martin arrived back in the UK on the day he collected his car and wrote this! - Ling). I can't wait till I need a replacement because I know exactly where to come and I'll be recommending you to anyone that will listen! I'll get a pic for you soon (without my big machinegun) but it's pissing down with rain at the moment. Thanks again.
p.s. Tell Suzie at your dealers, that if she wants to see my big gun, she only has to ask! ;0)"

Martin is one of my favourite customers this year. He is a Private Military Contractor in Iraq, so I have withheld his name and address in case any car-rrazy Muslims want to pop his clogs (no offence to sensible Muslims). Without people like Martin, no way would the US or UK Army be able to operate in Iraq, they are providing the security for people like British Government officials, industry big-wigs, TV and press and even the military itself! PMCs also enable ordinary Iraqis to get on with semi-normal lives and they are enabling rebuilding of the infrastructure of Iraq. Also, they spend a lot of time to assist training Iraqi law and order forces. Do not confuse British PMCs with American PMCs. As ever, British ones operate much more low-profile and sensibly. All are professionals and most are ex-special forces or elite military, or other specialists... these are salt of earth!
Here are some lovely pics of Martin doing his job out in Iraq, and he says "I've never lost a car out here...had a few bumps, scratches and holes put in them but never had one stolen!"
Well, glad Martin isn't planning to take his RX-8 to Iraq. With the common knowledge that these RX-8 engines blow up from time to time, the Mazda might be confused for a roadside IED! Zoom, zoom, boom!... hehehehe,
Please note that Mazda UK have applied pressure to my suppliers behind my back and blacklisted me from supplying more Mazdas, despite having many, many 100% happy and loyal customers who enjoy the cars, like Martin. Mazda UK's tactics are totally unethical, bullying, restrictive and unfair. Instead of saying what they want to me, directly... they insist suppliers stop dealing with me and they attack me behind my back - so I cannot challenge them! This is cowardly behaviour. Just to let you know what I have to put up with from these big companies trying to strangle me -

Gulen says... "Although at times it seemed that I was never going to get my Citroen C2 (probably my own impatience), all in all a VERY good service. Would recommend Ling all day long, especially her prices - it's much cheaper than buying. On delivery day, my new car was waiting for me when I got to work - GREAT!"
Gulen Emirali

Editor Note:
Gulen, you were not mistaken - your car did take longer than it should have. Reason? The bloody French. There was a strike at the factory! Bloody communists! Hehehe. What could I do? Here is what Citroen UK say, in an internal memo I sneaked... it is funny as hell (unless you are waiting for your car):
Internal Citroen UK Memo: ...(lists of chassis numbers - Ling)... "...As the above information is about as much use as a chocolate teapot (!!!) I will try and explain a little further... C2 and C3 (production - Ling) were originally delayed due to a factory strike. At first Paris so very kindly forgot to mention the strike (to Citroen UK - Ling) this threw out our computer systems and meant we were provided with inaccurate hand-over dates (from Citroen France to Citroen UK - Ling) and we were unaware of the inaccuracies. As a result some of the inaccurate dates were relayed to dealers. So; this is probably your first source of disinformation. Second, and most unlike the French (hehehe - Ling), another company - this time the one who provide the seats - went on strike. Hence delay number 2 and yet more confusion. The vehicles are most likely built, at least the majority, but they have not yet been assigned chassis as they have no seats!!! The good news is the seat company are no longer on strike. What would be really helpful to you now would be for me to provide a date when they will be with you, but unfortunately, we just do not know!! I have spoken to the supply manager responsible for C2 and he is unsure of how they are arranging the fitting of the seats to the cars i.e. what order they will be completed. The only communication from the factory is they'll be up to speed by the end of the month. In best case scenario, as you have been given the first chassis, the rest should all follow relatively quickly, but we just do not know. The vehicles will not be with you for week beginning 13th as they will be hitting Calais first and then start their journey. When they will hit Calais is anybody's guess. I know in total this e-mail has not been much help but we just can't accurately predict a delivery date for these vehicles as yet. Hopefully, in a week or so, the situation will become clearer and then we may be of more use!!"
Hope you can see that when even the bloody factory or importer has no clue what is happening, sometimes I am slightly out of control on deliveries. You must be philosophical! These are only cars. No-one dies, it is not life and death. These are only metal boxes with wheels! So chill (as you did, Gulen - good boy!)... -

Editor Note:
Well, you wanted them fast, Susan, and I had a supplier with Astras in stock so I thought... why not? It makes it easier to have fast turnaround to a Ltd company, as there is no cooling-off period in British law. Whereas private customers have more protection and must have time to consider their decision carefully. Still, it shows what can be done when I am let off my lead, eh? Thanks for being such a great customer! -

Just to thank you again for an all-round great service.

Mark says... "Hi Ling
Sorry I've not dropped you a line earlier, but I've been having so much damned fun in the new Saab convertible, I've not had time!
Firstly, I wanted to thank you for the whole experience of leasing a car from you. Initially, I thought the prices on your site were too good to be true when compared with the dull "normal" car hire sites, but I'm happy to say that the deal advertised on your website is absolutely genuine, and less than 6 weeks since first seeing your website, the shiny new car is sitting on the drive outside the house.
Secondly, thanks for the way the entire deal was conducted. It's nice to receive the personal touch these days, and your frequent, funny (and sometimes mickey-taking of my terrible memory) emails kept me up to speed with the status of the car. I'll even forgive you sending me those awful Chinese sweets since you arranged for a nice set of car mats to be supplied with the car!
Please feel free to use anything out of this email as a testimonial on your website, by the way.
For those people wondering if the prices on the website are genuine, or whether they should source from Ling - go for it! I'm certainly going to get my next car from her - it's just so damned easy, and the price you see is the price you pay. I just wish I'd found the website earlier - I'd have opted out of the company car scheme years ago and got something more fun!
Cheers again,
My wife and I are really pleased, the customer experience was exceptional, keep up the good work!!!"

Editor Note:
Simon, well, you may be the last RX8 customer for a while as I am now blacklisted again by Mazda from supplying their cars. What a shame. My customers universally love Mazda cars, and they love my service - just like you. But dealers complain about me, I am too cheap, too vocal and tell the truth. Mazda UK seem to hate me, yet I provide many happy customers for them. This is politics! Still I hope this will change in the future -
